AQUAPLANING OR HYDROPLANING...... What We Should Know by rexlims(m): 10:11am On Sep 16, 2015 |
This topic is meant to enlighten drivers or those hoping to become one. Driving in the rain or wet conditions can be quite an experience even for an experienced driver. so what is aquaplaning or hydroplaning? According to Wikipedia, Aquaplaning accurs because the tyres cannot clear the road of water and a "wedge" of water forms between the tyre and the road, losing any traction between tyres and road. What this means is that u loose control of your vehicle. what can you do in this condition, the following steps can save you and other road users. 1. Don't and I mean don't panic. 2. Hold your steering wheel firmly. 3. Take your legs of the accelerator pedal. 4. And never apply your brakes. 5. Lastly if you driving a manual vehicle, clutch down fully instead of using the brake. Well, I hope this info helps, and drive safely. source: http://www.2pass.co.uk/aquaplaning.htm#.VfktQDNw3iI |
